FALLBROOK: Burglary suspect arrested, officials say

FALLBROOK ---- A transient man living in Fallbrook and Oceanside
was arrested Thursday on suspicion of burglarizing a youth baseball
organization and a dry-cleaning business, officials said.

Christopher David Sharpe, 29, had been identified as the suspect
in an August burglary of Fallbrook Youth Baseball storage
containers, said San Diego County sheriff's Lt. Robert Haley.
Sharpe was placed on probation after Fallbrook detective Tom Vrabel
arrested him on suspicion of burglary and grand theft in June.

Vrabel, was driving his unmarked vehicle Thursday when he saw
Sharpe walking on a sidewalk downtown, Haley said. Sharpe saw
Vrabel, ran down an alley, and tried to hide a backpack he was
carrying.

Vrabel called for patrol deputies, who caught Sharpe and found
evidence in his backpack of a burglary at Manor Cleaners several
hours earlier, Haley said.
